Our retreat provides time for spiritual renewal, prayer, and reflection!    
Competent directors, attentive listening, and quiet reflection spaces contribute to a God-filled experience!     
We strive to deepen our relationship with the Incarnate Word so that we can more authentically proclaim Him.
Texas Execution Vigils As you may be aware, the State of Texas has resumed the execution of inmates on its Death Row. On evenings of executions in Texas, you are invited to join us in a Prayer Vigil at 5:45 PM in our Incarnate Word Convent Chapel, 1101 NE Water Street in Victoria, Texas. We pray for the murder victim, for family and friends of the murder victim, for the prison guards and correctional officers, for the family of the condemned man/woman, for the man/woman to be executed, and for an end to the death penalty.

Our
Continuing Call
in Today's World As we reflect on the season and its call for us to rejoice, let us be mindful that we are celebrating the major event of the awesome incarnation, life, death, and resurrection of the Second Person of God, in which He became one of us so that He could redeem us and lead us to the Father. Now, let us seek Him and let us look afresh at this awesome mystery through the eyes of mystics since we are all called, through our Baptism, to be mystics, that is, persons of prayer, persons whose experience of the presence of God is intense and leads  to continuing conversion.Let us respond to this call to deep communion of love and of knowledge with God and then share it with all humankind as prophets- persons who communicate the message of God to the whole world. Therefore, let us receive God’s love and, in turn, extend it to others -as mystics and prophets in today's Church.Go to Top |
Sisters, Charism, and Mission
 We, the Sisters
of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament of Victoria, Texas,
are women of the Church, who, in our communal living, seek
to focus on the Person of the Incarnate Word through adoration,
witness, and the Extension of the Eucharist by service to others
in a spirit of charity and simplicity.
Our mission is to extend the Incarnation in today's
world by living the Gospel of Love, proclaiming the Good News and
building the Kingdom of God.
Impelled by love to share the Incarnate Word's mission
of bringing God's kingdom to be, we joyfully seek to serve those
in need, through an apostolate of Christian education and care of
the sick as determined by the current needs of the church.
